HEINZ-GLAS: All-electric glass furnace inaugurated at the Piesau site

On September 16, a new electric glass melting furnace was inaugurated at HEINZ-GLAS Group‘s oldest production site in Piesau, Geermany, and named ‘Edith.’ This all-electric glass melting furnace is a decisive step on the journey of the Group towards fossil-free glass production in Piesau. With a daily glass melting capacity of 70 tonnes and the use of CO2-free electricity instead of fossil natural gas, HEINZ-GLAS is setting a strong example for sustainability and climate protection.

The switch to all-electric melting technology is part of a comprehensive transformation process in which we have invested EUR 17 million in the course of this project. In the coming years, further production processes are to be converted to fossil-free energy sources such as green electricity and hydrogen. HEINZ-GLAS Group is pursuing the ambitious goal of establishing the world’s first fossil-free melting glassworks at the site in Piesau.

HEINZ-GLAS Group looks forward to producing high-quality glass bottles in Piesau again starting in October and continuing to focus on innovative and sustainable solutions.
